  1. Question 1

    The value of i^2 is:

    • A1
    • B-1
    • Ci
    • D-i
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    By definition i = √-1 so i^2 = -1.

  2. Question 2

    The value of i^15 is:

    • A1
    • Bi
    • C-i
    • D-1
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    15 = 4(3) + 3 so i^15 = i^3 = -i.

  3. Question 3

    The value of i^100 is:

    • A1
    • B-1
    • Ci
    • D-i
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    100 is a multiple of 4 so i^100 = 1.

  4. Question 4

    The additive identity in C is:

    • A(1,0)
    • B(0,1)
    • C(0,0)
    • D(-1,0)
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    (a,b) + (0,0) = (a,b).

  5. Question 5

    The multiplicative identity in C is:

    • A(0,0)
    • B(1,0)
    • C(0,1)
    • D(1,1)
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    (a,b)(1,0) = (a,b).
